Gammadim (warriors or people group stationed in Tyre)
This puzzling term appears in Ezekiel's lament over Tyre, describing defenders stationed in the city's towers. The meaning remains disputed: some ancient versions read it as 'valorous men', while others suggest it's an ethnic or geographic designation (Lagarde proposed reading 'Gomer'). The uncertainty reflects how the name of this otherwise unknown group was lost even in antiquity.

1. sense 1 — Ezekiel 27:11 positions the Gammadim alongside Arvadites as defenders hanging shields on Tyre's walls. Whether this refers to a mercenary group, a people group, or simply 'brave warriors' (from a root meaning 'warrior'), the context is clear: these were professional soldiers enhancing Tyre's defenses. The multilingual transliterations show most translators treat this as a proper name of unknown reference, preserving the Hebrew rather than forcing an interpretation. 1×
